Hi,
I take it you refer to the elevated footpath her :- http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/-27.40886/152.95787
If so it is mapped correctly. Your edits can't be instantaneously added to the map, a lot of edits are re-rendered in OSM and appear within minutes. Others edits, ie coastlines sometimes take weeks.
Then there is the question of what map you are referring to/looking at, some maps are re-rendered updated weekly, monthly, some not at all.
Regards Bernard

Thanks Bernard
It's the path I added through the car park at the other end that I reckon it's not connected. I'll have to have another go at it because I have a few more paths I want to map. So I need to figure this out.

I have just come back from China - and I marked several sites (temples and museums etc) with OsmAnd on my Android tablet. I loaded one of them up as a POI through the OsmAnd interface. It took me awhile to find it in the Openstreetmap because there was no type associated with it. I added that with Potlatch here.

I'll have to look more closely at the OsmAnd settings to see if I missed something in there - or is this a common trap for young (or old) players?
